Abstract

It is believed that a national television channel should contain national contents in order to have acceptable representation for its own nation through history and culture. Novel aesthetic approach to television besides modern intellect of architecture, as will be argued in this paper, opens a way to compare television with other arts such as architecture. In this paper, following the mentioned argument, Iranian national television and Iranian historical architecture have focused as example. By concentrating on Iranian historical architecture, one of the most influential Iranian architectures was specified and was suggested to Iranian national television staff to consider it in their programs. This article draws a line for a more comprehensive research and makes a foundation for television evaluations based on aesthetic elements as well as national contents. In our future papers, we will introduce a computational based evaluation method to compare Iranian national television programs with Iranian architecture based on aesthetic elements.
